Morning sex was everything it was cracked up to be.Luca cuddled me onto his naked chest afterwards. I could hear his rapid heart rate slowing as my ear pressed against his skin. I looked down at where my hand was resting against his torso, seeing the diamond ring. Wiggling my finger, I watched the sparkle of the radiant-cut gem in the morning light that filtered in through the window behind the bed."Do you like it?" Luca asked me, his voice drowsy and deep.Those were the first words he'd spoken that morning, despite the fact that we'd been awake for several minutes.I looked up at him and smiled, nodding my head before looking back at the ring."It's mesmerizing," I admitted."Now you know how I feel when I look at you."I poked his abs at the cheesy comment, making him chuckle. Just before he could say something else, we both heard his phone vibrating on the nightstand where it was. He turned over to look at the screen, putting the phone back down unanswered."Who is that?" I aske

I made breakfast for the both of us, reigning in the conversation by venturing too far as we ate. Bates laughed at me as I winced at the ache in my hips getting down from the stool. This caused him to have to defend himself against the fork I tried to stab him with.He caught my hand mid-air, stopping the assault to stare at my ring."I liked the one I picked out better," he commented, observing it."That's not what you say upon seeing someone's engagement ring for the first time," I laughed."Oh, sorry," he said, clearing his throat."Oh my God, it's so gorgeous, I can't even," he said in a high-pitched voice."How did he do it? Did he get down on one knee?Oh my God...''I laughed."Yes," I answered. "He did, in fact, get down on one knee."His eyebrows furrowed"Assuming this happened between yesterday morning and today," he guessed."Did he propose here?"I nodded."Where?" He asked, the crease between his eyebrows deepening."In his closet," I answered, giggling.Bates raised an

"Do you want to come and stay here?" I asked her."You're joking," she said slowly."I'm being one-hundred percent serious. I could leave right now and you would be here by tomorrow morning.""I don't think that would help," she said."My dad is already losing it. I doubt me disappearing suddenly would aid the situation."But if you don't feel safe there-""I'm okay, Carrie. Really. Besides, I can't imagine Luca's pack would be any safer. Especially if my dad agrees to the raid.""What do you mean if?" I asked."He's not going to, right?""I don't know anymore. I see his resolve diminishing a little more every day. I'm not sure what your dad is telling him, but he seems to be convincing," she said."Mady, that's a bad idea," I warned."They can't do that. Luca's wolves here... they're not like our wolves at home. They actively train for things like this. They're prepared.""I know that. My dad knows that. He's tried to tell your dad, he's just not getting through to him. I guess your

I wiped my tears with my t-shirt after I'd pulled into the garage that evening.Taking a few deep breaths, I composed myself outside in the breeze way before I opened the door to go inside.As soon as I walked in, I was immediately overwhelmed by the smell of something delicious.I walked into the kitchen to see Luca standing over the stove, stirring something in a pot."Are you making... actual food?" I asked, eyes wide.He laughed at this."This is a recipe my mom used to make for us; reserved only for special occasions. Her grandmother, who was from Sorrento, used to make it for her!"He looked down anxiously at whatever was simmering in the pot."I feel like I've probably fucked it up.," he admitted, laughing."It smells amazing," I said assuring."It should be almost done. I figured we could eat out on the deck, if that's okay."I turned to look outside and my jaw dropped.I slowly walked towards the open deck doors, seeing the table laid out with a white table cloth, candles, si

"How about this one?"I held up the hanger to my neck, the dress it held splaying across my body."It's too Laura Ingalls," Norah commented, waving her hand.I put it back on the rack, continuing to sort through the dresses. Letting out a long, exasperated sigh, I pulled out another dress."This one?""Too J-Lo," she said, shaking her head."Is that a bad thing?""Not if you're looking to be Carrie from the Pack, but I thought we were looking for dresses appropriate for Luna to be inducted in."I rolled my eyes, laughing, as I put the dress back on the rack. We had been looking all day for something I could wear to the induction ceremony the next night. We had been to five different stores and still had no luck. We were digging through racks at a high-end store in a last resort to find something."What about this one?"I turned to see Hanna standing a few rows down in the store, holding up a long, mint green satin dress."That one's pretty," Norah said.I nodded, walking over to her.

Norah and Hanna were on their feet before I could say anything else.We sprinted out of the diner, passing the waitress who was on her way to our table with our food as we were on our way out the door. Running to Luca's Jeep, which was parked on the curb, I got into the driver's seat and started the engine. I nearly hit the car that was parked in front of us as I slammed my foot down on the gas pedal, swerving from the parking lane into the street. I heard several cars honking behind us as I drove away quickly.Looking in the rearview mirror, I glanced back at the bus stop to see Alpha Reid was gone.Had I just imagined it?"Carrie, watch out!" Norah screamed from the passenger seat.My eyes returned to the road in front of me to see Alpha Reid standing in the middle of the street. I slammed on the breaks and the Jeep skidded across the pavement, stopping right in front of him. I gulped, noticing the dark circles around his brown eyes and the way his once tan-complected face was now p

We drove for a few more minutes until we reached the tower, parking in the road behind Bates's Jeep.I followed Luca up to the door, Lincoln waiting for us there."Everything is set up. We're just waiting for Blaine," he said as we walked inside.We walked up the staircase to the top floor where Bates was shooting wad of notebook paper into a trash bin."Heard you had an interesting day," he said to me, smiling as he turned to see us walk in.I just nodded, taking a deep breath as I sat down.A few minutes later, Blaine and Lincoln walked up the staircase together.Lincoln looked at Bates."Is she ready?" He asked.Bates nodded.Lincoln opened his laptop and began to set up the video call. It rang a few times before she answered.Her face appeared on the screen and I raised an eyebrow. She looked nothing like Bates.She had dark, straight hair that was cut to her chin with blunt bangs that nearly covered her eyebrows. She was pale and extremely thin, her ultra-defined collarbones expo

After Clara disconnected the call, we all sat in silence for a few moments, letting her information settle in."I'll go ahead and connect with Ben so we can get the remainder of the infrared cameras set up along the gates," Lincoln said."I'll order more motion sensors," Blaine added."We can get those up and running by tomorrow evening, at the latest. I've got a guy in town who can get them to me by morning."Luca nodded before turning to Bates."Call an Elders meeting for tomorrow morning at five," he said."We're going to figure out a way to get everyone within the gates. Let them know we're going to start daily temperature checks and to be brainstorming ideas to acquire and log the information."Bates nodded."Keep everyone on high alert for the next twenty-four hours,'' Luca continued, speaking to all three of them."We'll convene again tomorrow before the elders meeting."They all nodded, pulling out their phones to contact the necessary people.Luca stood up, turning to me."Le
